28/01/2021 | 11:50:09 Thank, Mr President. On behalf of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Group, I would like to compliment the rapporteur Mr Boriss CILEVIČS for the excellent work he did in this report. And Mr Mr CILEVIČS makes it very clear in his conclusion of his report that "there is no need for more tools at international level to prevent and combat ethnic profiling, but the existing ones should be better known and implemented".

As the leader of the Netherlands delegation, I am very pleased with the work of Mr Frank SCHWABE and Ms Ingjerd SCHOU. This is giving us a road map for the next coming months.
